Field Notes
D. A. Bell
May 26, 1990
one imm. + one sub-adult eagle are making regular
foraging trips around Tatoosh I.
May 27, 1990
Getting ready to pack & leave the island. Collected
two gulls on Toad Point (DAB 711-712), 2 birds
on 1 shot. Rainy. Fair amount of boat traffic -
mostly at Cape Flattery, but not as much as expected.
Rough sea must be keeping people away. We were
picked up by 2 boats at 13:30. Unfortunately, Bobo
Paines' standard ride from the group at Big Snow
Charters couldn't take people, because someone switched
on them not having a "water taxi" license for people.
So another fellow had to "donate" his time to pick
up the people (us). Ride to Neah Bay went quick,
in a "Cadillac cruiser". More rain. Back at Neah
Bay Tim "offered" to take my specimens into
Seattle for me. It freed us up, so Warren and I
headed for the ferry at Port Angeles. Black Ball
Ferry to Victoria. Made it on the 18:00 Ferry.
Weather calmed markedly. Left Victoria, and the
Oake Bay Hotel for a much needed bath + beer.
May 28, 1990
Sunny in Victoria. We went downtown, then
tried to catch ferry to Anacortes, WA over the
San Juans. But too late. Only 1 ferry on Memorial
Day. So we took a ferry from Swartz Bay to
Tsawwassen, BC, then the Canadian Gulf Hx.
